actually, that was the moment it was cleaned up and moved from the 
particular style to the core files; the reason for decoupling them was in a 
special kind of float where clicking on the caption brought up a big float 
in a widget (whichin turn was based on the widget based help system) -) 
[this is why in page-flt there is still the mapping to old names used in 
'uguide']

there is a trick for that, but i cannot find it right now; however, the 
floatcaption command accepts a second optional arg being the ref.
